Oops Yet Again

I don't know why I feel that public humiliation is the best way to overcome embarrassment, but in some unknown way I must because I am about to share yet another humiliating point of my weekend.  This morning (Sunday) I was abruptly awoken by myself for reasons I am unaware of currently, but in waking up I always check the clock on my phone to know what time it is.  In picking up my phone the screen lit up and 5:58 am flashed into view.  5:58 am!  I'm going to be late to work (6:00 am)!

Jumping out of bed I ran to my closet, grabbed clothing, ran to my dresser and grabbed a hair tie.  Now all I needed was shoes.  No time for my usual tie on shoes.  I will need the slip-ons (I actually thought this).  Now all I needed to do was run out the door, start defrosting my windshield and get to work.

As I drove feverishly to work the thought did occur to me that the parking lots were pretty empty in the other company parking lots, but oh well, it was 6:00 am.  I pulled into my own companies parking lot and jumped out of the car running to the buildings door to unlock it using my electronic key.  Oh no, it wasn't working.  What was I going to do?  I had an install that I was already 5 minutes late to and now I couldn't get into the building.  I had better text my manager and find out what to do.  You know what I had better also text the owner of the company because he gave me my key card and if my manager didn't respond quickly he (the owner) should have a suggestion.  In doing all of this I walked back to my car in order to stay warm as I awaited a response.

Good thing the radio works in my car because as I sat there the radio DJ started talking about Monday's holiday and I came to the fast realization that it was Sunday and not Monday.  No wonder my key wasn't working.  In lightning speed I texted my manager and the owner back telling them to ignore me and that I realized I had completely skipped over Sunday.  Time to sheepishly drive home, change back into my pj's, get into bed and try to forget the sinking embarrassed feeling wrapping its way around my heart.  At least now I have an entire day that otherwise I would have skipped right over.
